The only negative about this or any nail gun is that unlike a hand-held hammer hitting metal, you can't feel whether the nail struck a joist on the other side or just air -- an air shot feels just like a good nail. My husband has used this for three weeks, every day, all day. So far, it's just great, but it takes a strong person to weild it well. That's my job - spotter on the inside watching for misses. He's building a cabin single-handedly, and it saves many hammer-strokes.
This was the one he mentioned. For a framing novice it let me set it on full safety. I like the adjustable safety options. I asked my contractor friend what framing nailer I should get. It is a powerful versatile tool. At the same time it leaves options open as my skills advance. I have used it for deck work and wall framing.
If you're concerned more about safety and want sequential fire this has that option w/turn of a ring. This gun is awesome. It's fast, lightweight, and the bump mode let's you move right along without having to wait. If I need another nail gun, this will be it. The gun also responds well to the pressure regulator, no need for a depth gauge here.
